Ao Nang, Krabi Sunday 2 July
2 lipca 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
We were meant to wake up at 7.30 and go shopping and be back in time to leave for the airport at 12pm.
We overslept by 5 hours!!! No natural light in the rooms at Mono Hotel and our clocks were still in SA time... Woke up at 12.30pm and in less than 1 hour we managed to pack and get a taxi and arrive at the airport.
Booked into La Playa hotel in Krabi.
Alleyway into the hotel looked horrid and slummy so we were nervous, but the hotel was stunning! Interlinking rooms with a lounge area, 2 tvs, private balcony and an emerald green pool (that we didn't end up swimming in) Czytaj więcej

Ate Indian food for supper. Carmen craving curry after our stunning curry in Hoi An last year. Butter chicken was Carmen's favorite this night.
Walked along the Boardwalk, took photos and then had Thai massages. Carmen and I both ended up having men massage us, which wasn't first prize. Next time we'll ask for old Thai women.. Czytaj więcej

Ao nang, Krabi District, Monday 3 July
3 lipca 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Fetched at 8.30 and transported in an open bakkie for 30 min to Talin (?).
Went kayaking to a tiny beach that is like a huge cave - Monkey Beach. No monkeys at that time of day.
Then paddled up a Gorge with an outcrop that looks like the one in the Bond movie - The man with the Golden gun.
Then kayaked through mangrove area and walked around a sandy outcrop with thousands of mud crabs. Czytaj więcej

Ao Nang, Krabi, Tuesday 4 July
4 lipca 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Day of shopping.
Pictures on the beach
Got caught in the rain walking home and only had one poncho :)... Hence Charne trying to occupy mine!
Went to swim in the sea at sunset.
Dinner with a beautiful view over the Boardwalk onto the sea
Heard a South African playing live music in a bar and clapped when he mentioned SA. So he called us into the place and he played Loslappie. In front of all the people Nardus and Charne took to the dance floor and sokkied. Everyone was clapping and smiling to see father and daughter dancing. So special. Memory of a lifetime.
Then Charne danced some more alone with 3 other girls . Czytaj więcej

Kata Beach, Phuket. Wed 5 July
5 lipca 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Last minute shopping in Krabi and had to rush to buy another coconut ice cream. Best ice cream ever made of real coconut and coconut milk.
Drove in private taxi for 3 hours to Kata Beach, phuket. (with the Thai couple who stopped to buy fruit shakes on the way...)
Kata Palm resort and Spa stunning.
Situated one road, parallel, from beach, behind the long wall of the Club Med. To get to the beach turn left from hotel and walk 5 minutes along the wall and then turn right to the beach.
Lovely hotel. Our rooms connected via a wooden door on the balcony. 1st floor, overlooking the pool.
Probably the most magical pool we've ever had. Gorgeous windy pool with tropical foliage all around and a seated area for drinks in the pool.
Went to Hippo discount market and bought candied Mangos etc and had our first Fried ice cream - Nutella ice cream rolled up into 5 tubes. Delicious!
Had dinner across from Hippo discount store at the end of the street. Pineapple fried rice pad Thai, red curry, spring rolls Czytaj więcej

Kata Beach, phuket Thursday 6 July
6 lipca 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
First full day in Kata.
Spent the morning in the pool at the hotel.
Went to beach and Tanned and swam in the afternoon.
Nardus took the girls to the L side of the beach near the rocks to snorkel. They came back very unimpressed with the little jaunt! Murky and waves crashing them against the rocks.
Charne got stung by a jellyfish.
Weather turned rainy so we headed home.
Walked through night Market and Charne bought sunglasses.
Had Indian food for supper at a nice restaurant on the sidewalk. Very nice. Czytaj więcej

Koh phi phi Don -Tonsai villageSat 8July
8 lipca 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Left early in the morning and went on classy large ferry to Phi Phi.
Chow Koh Phi Phi resort and Spa.
Lovely hotel in the middle of the town but has private path up to it with lush trees/shrubs and a swimming pool. Rooms gorgeous and restaurant for breakfast across the path that runs along the beach, and upstairs overlooking the sea.
Nardus mongoosed/explored while we swam for 2 hours while waiting to book in.
Walked to the beach for sundowners. Not that impressive.
Went to restaurant that served blue cheese pizza and spinach and cream ravioli. The best. Girls had a massage. Czytaj więcej

Went on a full day snorkelling trip right around phi phi Don Island and over to Phi Phi Leh (Maya Beach and Viking Cave), stopping at many places to swim or snorkel or tan. Lunch at lah moo dee and tanned and saw a goat. See map.
Stunning day.
Went back to the same restaurant as last night and more blue cheese pizza.
And of course a Thai massage for the girls again :) Czytaj więcej

Took Longtail boat to the resort.
Debbie and the girls all had a tummy bug.
Beautiful individual villas. Quite far from the pool, so we asked to move closer the next day.
Nardus and girls headed into the little village outside the resort and ate Pad Thai Czytaj więcej

Phi phi Island Village resort 11 July
11 lipca 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Packed up to move to other room.
Beautiful sea that in high tide laps right up to the hotel retaining wall so it looks like a rim flow pool.
Read our books overlooking the beach. Magical.
Headed into the little town for dinner.
Carmen's quotes for the night :
* maybe I should be a Dontist (orthodontist)
* I'm going to have my thumbs in many pies when I'm older.
And then again her ongoing referral to "stitches" in her shoulders (knots). And earlier in the holiday saying that pasta can't be Vegan because it has flour in it. Lol. She has amazed us with her brilliance this holiday :)
To those who read this in many years to come - she is actually an extremely bright child, believe it or not. Lol. Czytaj więcej

Nardus and Carmen and Debbie went for a walk to the other beach.
Litter horrendous. Whole beach covered with bottles and plastic, etc.
Weird small cockroaches by the thousands all over the rocks and sand as we walked. Carmen freaked out and Nardus had to piggyback her. Czytaj więcej

Railay Beach
13 lipca 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Swam and Tanned for the morning and then at 2pm got a long-tailed boat to phi phi Don. Then caught a ferry to Ao Nang Krabi. Then a speedboat to Railay Beach.
Pouring with rain on the journey and when we arrived we had to walk in the rain to Bay Hotel.
Hotel rooms nice. Outdated bathrooms (turquoise) so not really up to standard for a 4 stay hotel.
Went out in the rain and bought chicken wrap for Nardus and a vegetarian one for Charne (which consisted of loads of raw onion, some tomato and cabbage - dismal) then to a restaurant for red curry for Charne, chicken cashew for Debbie, and a scary club sandwich for Carmen.
Dinner followed by banana pancakes of course. Czytaj więcej
